Purple Skulleaters
Retired [Q] Nurgle's Rotters

We are fast and effective and The Purple People Eaters

The Vikings' defensive line was so good in the late 1960s and during the 1970's that it obtained several nicknames. The "Purple People Eaters" and the "Purple Gang" were the ones most often heard. Like other good defenses, the Vikings tackled quarterbacks and runners for losses, but they went a step further. They used a "big play" defense that could turn a game from defeat into victory in one spectacular play. The Purple People Eaters did not consider it a day's work unless they intercepted passes, forced fumbles, blocked punts and field goals, and ran back loose balls for touchdowns. The defense was so good that even when the other team had the ball, it was difficult to say which team would score. Even if the opposing team had marched into the red zone, it was not uncommon to see Paul Krause or Bobby Bryant intercept a Page-tipped ball and run it back 70+ yards for a score.

The Purple People Eaters were not as monstrously big as our nemesis in those grade school days, the Rams' Fearsome Foursome. In fact, they were rather small compared to most defensive linemen, but they were incredibly fast. Many times a fleet runner would see a clear path to the end zone only to have a large hand grab and pull him down from behind. It wasn't unusual for a speedy Viking player on the left side of the line to make tackles on the right side of the field and visa-versa.
